Given their somewhat rocky start, everyone assumed that Jolie had to be, without a doubt, the love of Pitt's life. The pair were inseparable after Pitt's split from Aniston in 2005 and share six children together: Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, and twins Knox and Vivienne. Their history made their divorce all the more shocking, with rumours of the reasoning behind the split ranging from Jolie not agreeing with Pitt's parenting style to him having a reported affair with "Allied" costar Marion Cotillard.
In a 2022 court filing, Jolie detailed abuse accusations against Pitt that allegedly occurred on a 2016 flight, per Associated Press. The allegations were filed in a cross-complaint from Jolie in the former couple's dispute over the French winery they co-owned, which is separate from their ongoing divorce.
